Election Post-Mortem

by Simon in

i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

really, wtf!.

the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

What Trump and JW are very effective is: Trump"ling" the brains of the followers

Trump had such a success because he always repeated the same things (lies included), created easy pictures and confirmed them by constantly by saying "believe me", "believe me".

What can we learn? One believed what he said but what was only show, what was only propaganda and what does he think really?

Through constant repeating of the same things our brain circuits get strenghened, because our brains like to get trained to believe what is repeated. By repeating a lie again and again one could easily give the lie the character of truth, this would function at least in certain moments. What was once heared would remain. Thats good for learning.

JW use the learning method in assemblies and on big conventions, they listen and hear again and again the same things.

Linguistics are training speakers and politicians to speak with influence, to create pictures. Political framing techniques. A whole nation begins to believe, to think what is actually only talked to the nation into believing it, so it becomes politics. The winner with the best language takes it all.

Human brain changes through language, the aural sense is of most importance for us, our brain is changing each day and it is hard to edit what was once heared by rational arguments.

Note: Dont let your malleable mind get trumpled by those who say "believe us". Cults use religious framing to isolate.

Returning we could climb up the beech mountain to get this beautiful view to northeast over the Ridge, the wet land and Beech Brook. The Blue lake lies between the ridges in behind.

From big „beech mountain“ we look over „Beech brook“ where lies the border between the states New york and New Yersey. We are on New Yersey side.

Here are pictures from "gonehikin blogspot" of the proposed tour. Nice

The wetland.

Quote: The bucolic and aptly named Tranquility Ridge, is 2,110-acres of unspoiled woodlands located in the highlands communities of West Milford and Ringwood. Passaic County was able to preserve this property after the county purchased it from the Sterling Corporation. Tranquility Ridge was originally part of the Sterling Forest tract that was being slated for development.
Tranquility Ridge is perfect for hikers who enjoy the getting back to nature, and the peace and quiet of the deep forest.
Beech Brook

In the distance you would see the Little Cedar Pond inmidst the Sterling Forest.

After this tour we relax at the Sheppard Pond (SE of Headquarters)

I vite you to make with me a „roundabout route“ round the new world headquarters. As many cannot afford a journey to America and many would rather made a recreational trip to the Hudson valley. Let us hike and tramp virtually around. About 50.000 visitors are counted at the bethels every year. Lets begin with the world headquarters at the Blue Lake.

Next to the HQ we find to the WEST this nice low Tranquility Ridge which we will explore later, perhaps tomorrow.

Its the "Tranquility Ridge County Park Forest", a very beautiful place to tramp around in silent nature. Lets hope that the GB get many spiritual new light here. Its 44 miles to New York from here. Its a sign that the HQ was relocated from the loud city into the silent nature.

Vis-a vis over the "blue lake" you see the IBM HQ. Thats to the north.

Blue Lake is located inside Sterling Forest State Park.

The Sterling State Lakes will be our next tour. I hope tomorrow. Enjoy!

At the Blue lake Anglers can also target Largemouth Bass, Chain Pickerel and panfish. Blue Lake has a nice boat launch and provides anglers with a good opportunity at catching some fish.

Here some details about the HQ.

TUXEDO. Jehovahs Witnesses. During the construction of the new world headquarters of Jehovahs witnesses one could encounter busy volunteers at different locations in Tuxedo. After work not all were accomodated at the facility in 1422, Long Meadow Road, where most of the volunteers lived and worked. There were some other appartments and single family houses that were purchased for this construction purpose. Some volunteers were even accomodated in hotels in the neighbourhood.
The facility at Tuxedo was the construction staging area. Beginning with 2013 the former International Paper Company facility in 1422, Long Meadow Road was reconstructed into a construction staging area for the world headquarters. „Residence rooms and offices are being constructed within the existing buildings, as are workshops and storage areas.“ [1] At this site the volunteer workers were also supported with meals, materials and equiment.

A deeper information about this place offers the video on the religions homepage.[2]

Tuxedo Lake, behind the woods is the long Meadow Road. The white complex in the 2nd pix is the "Tuxedo Site"

"it would be presumptuous to say that we were the only ones"... but our religion teaches us that we are and we believe believe deeply in the fact, that we are.

Relatives of those who have lost their lives putting faith of life or death in a religion that is neither Inspired nor Infallible.

by smiddy in

with the admission of the governing body that they are neither inspired nor infallible , i am curious to know how many of you people from all around the world know of somebody ,a relative or friend , who lost their life because of following the dictates of a religion that now says they are neither inspired nor infallible.,that they now admit they make mistakes.. how many people have needlesly died having followed the jehovahs witness religions policys regarding not getting your child vaccinated against diseases ,which was the case years ago, not having organ transplants as that was considered cannilbalismm years ago ,and since the mid 1940`s the ban on jehovahs witnesses having blood transfusions.. yet somehow today you can have fractions of blood donated by non jw`s who are designated as people to be destroyed at armageddon because they follow satans system of things,.

blood that is donated by these people ,stored in a laboratory , and processed into fractions by laboratory staff and given to jehovahs witnesses with their consent.with no consequences to them for doing so.. blood is not poured out on the ground and not used for any purpose as their bible the nwt dictates.or any other bible for that matter..

I didnt know the person that died young personally. But I know its name and I know its fate.

Each time I visit the grave of my grandma I'm reminded that this person who died young was a JW. At first glance this rather unusual gravestone always comes in my viewing angle. The inscript on the gravestone reads "Jehovah is my sheperd".

This person was one of those so-called "RARE CASES" where a fullblood-transfusion would have been the only sole possibility to saved a life.

The young person refused a transfusion regardless of the consequences being fully aware of the riscs and was buried here far away from its town in a remote village, where it did an apprenticeship and everyone in the village knows the story.

The grave looks always unkempt and was constructed as cheap as possible, never I see flowers, what I notice because it is surrounded of those expensive elegant polished "marble" graves that mostly beautiful decorated. Has this person been forgotten of the congregation. Imagine this fate, it sacrifed its life for jehovah and then nobody visits the grave because they are too busy in the preaching work or the congregation has not enough money to afford a regular gardening service for the grave of an " faithful heroe" of faith, what a fine testimony for Jehovah. Obviously the family is too poor too cause every cent goes to Warwick.

But once a year I pass by thinking about that Jehovah, that once ruled my life and who the person was in its life. The master where it did the apprenticeship loved the person very much, wrote the papers.

I would call it not "Bethel Warwick" as it is not in the town but at a lake, but "Bethel Blue Lake".

Latest Pictures from Google users online. Its really nice. Isnt it?

So now its ready for a journey to America to Kings-Drive! Funtastic place. 50.000-70.000 visitors visit annually the bethel complexes in America.

BTW what happens to the other buildings by the way, that are in the vicinity are they sold or hold?

So Bethel Tuxedo will be soon out of use, purchased or serve other purpose?

And what about this appartment house that the society bought?

Was it bought as investment for later? Or was it already renovated by free labor? Or did it serve as flat for GB who needed silence, or for construction workers, for the planning of Warwick, or as flat for missionaries who visit America or for invitations of highranking politicians, or did it serve as home for old poor bethel brothers who need some silence neer the lake, or for makeing films, for the film crew?

Google 57, cross ridge road, Tuxedo Park to find pictures.
